I am raising money for the charity MANUP? because I’ve seen the impact that societal pressures have on the men I care about. Too often, they’re told to "man up" and keep their emotions hidden, leading to silent battles that can weigh heavily on their hearts and minds. It’s painful to watch someone you love struggle alone, feeling like they can’t reach out for help.

That’s why I’m supporting MANUP?, a charity dedicated to changing how we think and talk about men’s mental health. The statistics are heartbreaking—74% of all suicides in the UK involve men, and suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under 45. These are not just numbers; they represent sons, brothers, fathers, and friends lost too soon. With 84% of the UK population experiencing a mental health issue at some point in their lives, it’s clear that we all need to do more to support each other.

I’m raising funds to help MANUP? continue their vital work, providing the support and resources men need to feel safe enough to talk about their struggles. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference. Your support means the world to me—and to the countless men who will benefit from it. Together, we can help create a world where no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
